Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just starting. She says drinking water feels painful in her throat, and she notices that her cough seems to be more severe as well. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should the treatment for the child's tonsillitis be managed if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can also be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can administer pain relievers as needed to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended that tonsillectomy be performed two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take the child to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
